First try in 96EDO

Here is a first short result of mine in 96EDO.
I tried to pursue the idea of "morphing" chords here. Underneath lies a
progression of 11-limit chords in 24EDO (major - in cents: 0-200-400-
550-700, and minor: 0-150-300-500-700) that are gradually "morphed"
into each other. The 96EDO tuning was realized by retuning a midi file
with Scala. I am not sure whether my synth renders the tuning
correctly - anyway, I am still not really satisfied with the result,
the whole thing is to be taken as a work in progress.
Comments welcome.

Not bad for a start. I couldn't tell you if it was correct 96-edo, but
it "morphs" well.

I take it you were inspired by the ELP song/album of the same name,
n'est-ce pas?

Thanks! Actually, I got the feeling that not everything is correct -
in particular, there is a place where the bass note moves up
audibly where it is supposed to stay the same. Anyway, retuning a
midi file to 96EDO using pitch-bends is quite a tough job, and Scala
already did surprisingly well so far.

Indeed. The germ of the all-over-repeated phrase is actually based on
(I could also say: morphed from) the ostinato motif of the beginning
of that album - still recognizable in the rhythm, if you know.
I hope there is no copyright issue... Once the piece is finished, I
may have to change the name...

This is quite nice. kinda like listening to some form of erosion, morphing. I guess a tightening of the rhythm between statements but i imagine that has to do mith how you put it together

This is quite nice. kinda like listening to some form of erosion, morphing. I guess a tightening of the rhythm between statements but i imagine that has to do with how you put it together

Ha! I like this one. Though I feel like the ending
is somewhat artificial.

Yes, there are some gaps at copy/paste borders - those are errors, and
I will have to fix these later.
Thanks for the comment!
